"Don't sell, don't lose" isn't correct imo.

All it means is that you haven't realized a loss for accounting purposes, but in the meantime you've suffered an economic impairment as evidenced by the decline in personal net wealth.

I think we'd agree that someone with $1,000,000,000 in net worth is better off economically than someone else with $1,000 net worth plus $999,999,000 in Unrealized Losses.

One time I got myself into a hole. After a painful round of deliberation, I made a decision to bite the bullet, sell and put the remaining funds in tried-n-true companies.

I humbly - and I think intelligently - framed it as "I'd rather have (put names of CEO of exceptional companies here) managing my money than myself."

If one's not willing to liquidate/reallocate, then I think the next best thing is NOT to put incremental funds in a losing/risky investment.

If it's going to ultimately do well, then great, you recover and possibly make money. If not, you don't deepen the hole.

As for sex, you sound like Jack Lalanne.

--When asked about sex, LaLanne had a standard joke, saying that despite their advanced age, he and his wife still made love almost every night: "Almost on Monday, almost on Tuesday, almost on Wednesday..." (wikipedia)

Actually, after spending some time checking out the award MeiLin Wan won, I feel it is a prestigious award she can be proud of.
The confusion I have is what work is it related to? The award can't be in any way related to APDN or its performance over the last two years.
Did she spend some time at a company that was successful or was she part of some official research which led to sales?
I wonder what the award was based on. Is there some groundbreaking event at APDN which we are unaware of??
